Ananta Legian Hotel

Location

Noisy renovations. Poor breakfast

Lovely place with beautiful staff. Ideal location as it is very close to the beach, restaurants and shopping. Great position without spending a fortune. Rooms are nice, double bed, good amenities with tea and coffee facilities, shampoo and body wash, and hair dryer. Very clean but a little on the older side. Perfect for us as we didn’t use the room much. Pool area was cool, lots of sun beds however if it was busy you would struggle to find one. Swim up bar was really nice and the barman was so friendly! The place was a little on the older side but still a truely nice place to stay.

All is good

Nothing

The setup

Lack of atmosphere, only person there.

No rooftop to access at night No swimup bar Breakfast not good No glasses or pool towels only on request then were dirty and didnt replace glasses

I liked how the rooms were cleaned expect the mold on the mirrors. Beds were comfy. Good location not far from shops and beach. Staff were friendly.

The photos they put up of the hotel were old. The hotel was out dated and needs renovation. I reacon the photos were taken about 5 years as things are now run down at the hotel. We had breakfast there one morning out of 3 as the breakfast wasn't very nice. The bread was old. The gym room smelt old. No swim up bar as no worker there. We asked when someone will be servicing there they said from 9pm. None was even there then. There was also no rooftop bar as no lights there at night.

We booked 3 poolside rooms for an 8 day family holiday. My wife had stayed at the Ananta some years ago, apparently during its glory years and we were confident of a laid back resort atmosphere that our teenage children would enjoy as much as us. Well…..we soon noticed there was a severe lack of maintenance. In fact, we weee told only 50 rooms in the resort were now used and the top 2 floors had basically been abandoned . The rooftop bar is non existent, our showers hardly worked, digital card door lochs needed reprogramming most days, getting pool towels and ice to keep drinks cold ( as the room fridges were set to room temp) was like pulling teeth. The breakfast was a mediocre repetitive buffet for the first half if our stay until after New years when they didn’t even bother and only offered an “al la carte” American or Indonesian “ breakfast . Staff were friendly and doing their best but were usually hard to find. Rarely manning the pool bar, reception desk and late to make rooms up . Rooms have minimal facilities, no extra pillows, mini bar, ice , adapters , we noticed some pool access rooms had stained curtains. Despite the above, we had a great time but it wasn’t because of the standard of accommodation. This place was once great , is in a good location and could be excellent again with some investment and a change of attitude. Presently though , there’s obviously better options
